Description: This volume presents essays in which scholars from various countries and legal systems engage critically with formative texts in criminal legal thought since Hobbes. It aims to contribute to the emergence of a transnational canon of criminal law by documenting its intellectual and disciplinary history and, at the same time, to present a snapshot of contemporary work on criminal law within that historical and comparative context.
